About The Position

The automotive industry has evolved drastically over the last few years, and the way dealerships source inventory has transformed with it. We are moving away from traditional, high-priced auto auctions and focusing on what matters most: sourcing quality, local pre-owned vehicles directly from private owners in our community. Every local vehicle comes with a local story, and as a Vehicle Acquisition Specialist, you will be at the forefront of this modern approach. This is a high-visibility, high-impact role within our dealership. It offers an incredible entry point to explore the car business while providing massive potential for income and career growth.
